The Amazing Race will be returning for season 16 on CBS Sunday February 14. The Amazing Race 16 cast consists of 11 teams of 2 competing for $1 million.

We already know Jordan & Jeff, who had a relationship (of sorts) in Big Brother 11. I’m surprised it took this long before a BB duo appeared. Not the team I’d have picked (I’d have gone with Boogie & Will), but they’re likeable enough I suppose.
